Alan, Aimee, Toby, Benjamin, and Katie are returning to the Czech Republic for EuroCamp July 22-August 7, 2007. The team will be teaching English and American sports.
Helpful Tips and General Prayer Points:
- Time in the Czech Republic is 7 hours ahead of Central Time.
- Please pray for the families of team members: for their safety and for peace while loved ones are away.
- Please pray for this team, for the missionary staff, and for the Czech national staff, that they would all join in unity in Christ.
- Pray for unity, purity, and clarity of purpose. Satan seeks to divide the team, to corrupt their witness, and to cause confusion and frustration. Pray for divine protection from Satan’s attacks and deceptions.
- Pray for God’s spirit to fall on this camp, for campers’ hearts to be broken by Jesus. Please pray for the American team (33 strong!) and for the on-field missionaries and Czech Christian leaders.
- Please pray for Toby, Benjamin, and Katie, that God would call them to the Czech Republic.
